Guerlain | Lingerie de Peau Foundation & Multi-Perfecting Concealer

Last September Guerlain relaunched their cult foundation Lingerie de Peau by revisiting its formula and adding several shades to the range and thus reaching a wider audience. Together with the foundation, a new Foundation Brush is available; the dense brush has very soft and velvety bristles which offer a natural, dewy, glowy look.

Another launch was the Multi-Perfecting Concealer made with a revolutionary new hybrid formula that will both correct dark circles and detract from imperfections.

Since September last, I’m using the foundation and the concealer daily; from my point of view these two products are the best.

In the meantime, I’m also a student at a make-up school here in Brussels, and during my practice hours, I’ve been testing the foundations and the concealers on several skin types and carnations.

The results are just impeccable! With one single exception (the model had VERY dry skin) the products offered a flawless complexion to all of the models I’ve been working with so far.

Housed in a glass bottle with clean-cut lines (much elegant than the original coffin shaped bottle), the product has a medium formula, neither too thick, nor watery, and a light pleasant fragrance which disappears after application.

It completely melts into the skin and it offers a natural, flawless finish.

It is super comfortable, it doesn’t crease, it doesn’t oxidise, it has a staying power of 10+ hours (with a primer underneath it).

I like to apply it with my fingers and a little seems to go a long way.

It spreads easily along the skin and dissipates quickly after application.

It is the perfect foundation for normal, sensitive, combination and oily skins.

It can work for slightly dryer skin but it’s definitely not enough for very dry skin. It works gorgeously for all ages between 20+ and 80+.

The foundation is available in 14 new shades categorised by level of intensity and undertone: cool, neutral, warm and optimised for a broad range of complexions from fair to deep.
